SOLUTION: Suppose that a polynomial function of degree 5 with rational coefficients has the numbers {{{ 1/2 }}} , {{{ 2+ sqrt ( 7 ) }}} , {{{ 1-3i }}} as zeros. Find other zeros. I am no

Question 288832: Suppose that a polynomial function of degree 5 with rational coefficients has the numbers , , as zeros. Find other zeros.

I am not positive what Degree 5 means, and although I could find the zeros through trial and error, I know there is some process a bit easier, could you show me?

Degree five means that the highest exponent is 5 as in x^5
there will be five zeros
since 1-3i is a zero so is 1+3i
since 2+sqrt(7) is a zero so is 2-sqrt(7)
so now we have five zeros
